#3 is a wonderful capture of her naturalness.

Nice work.. 3 and 5 are my fav's.. Love all the coloring in these photo's...

I like 3, 5 and, 7 best... good job!

Thanks guys! I'm still pretty new to this whole thing but I really enjoy it

yea i think the facial expression works for 3.

i think vignetting here could have been left out.

I like it but it is definitely more apparent here on my work computer than it was on my home computer. It wasnt as noticable at home. Maybe I should back it off some.

Love #3. #2 looks like she's mad, and I started to wonder until I saw the rest.

This is just a personal pet peeve of mine, but I hate portraits/photos of people wearing sunglasses. Unless they're candids which #1 implies, then it's fine. Nothing is absolute. Anyway, to me, the eyes tell the story about a person and if they're going to wear sunglasses they might as well have held a piece of cardboard in front of their face.

3 5 and 7 are just wonderful.
Nice work

I agree totally. I had to ask her to take them off but she kept putting them back on lol. I dont blame her though cause we both have sensitive eyes. But pictures look much more personal without sunglasses.

My eyes are very sensitive to bright light, so I'm with ya there. Sunglasses can be used to effect, I think, too... maybe have her pose wearing them but peeking over them slightly in a kind of playful manner. Maybe pose where they're skewed a bit and one eye is hidden and the other eye exposed. Shots like that can be kinda cool.

Getting a little OT, but I really hate it when I'm dealing with a salesman who will not remove their sunglasses. I don't care how bright it is out side, it makes me feel like they're hiding something.

3 & 5 are really nice, very natural! Did you mean to include yourself in #1?

Hmmm thats a good thought. I'll have to try that. Because most of the time when I get a change to shoot her its outside and she's got her glasses on.

I also agree with the salesmen thing. Its easier to BS somebody with sunglasses on.

No that was an accident lol, but I kinda liked it after the fact

I like #3 she looks the most herself. In 2 she looks kind of upset. #'s 5 & 6 she looks uncomfortable. Not bad though. Work on that timing, it is key.
